What happened
The Landlord applied for a review of an order which had dismissed their application to terminate the tenancy. The Landlord alleged the Tenant had transferred occupancy to an unauthorized person (the Tenant's adult child) without consent. The original order found that the Tenant was only away in Pakistan for a funeral, had the intent to return, and had since returned. The review request also raised a significant issue regarding the Landlord's representative using artificial intelligence to draft the request, which included a non-existent legal citation.
The ruling
The Landlord's request for review was denied, and the original order remains in effect. The Landlord is ordered to pay $100.00 to the Tenant as party costs. Additionally, the Landlord's representative, Victoria Zarif, is ordered to pay $100.00 in Board costs due to the misuse of artificial intelligence in drafting the legal submissions, which included a non-existent case citation.
